There are two federal laws that protect the privacy of health information. These are the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

For students of The University of Tulsa (TU), the applicable federal privacy regulations are found in FERPA. However, it is our goal to comply with the standards of HIPAA. To view the standards of HIPAA, please see www.utulsa.edu/generalcounsel and/or http://www.cba.utulsa.edu/atrg.
